Tour de France 1948 edition.
If you've ever tried to carry a bike beside you while riding, you'll know how difficult it is, imagine trying to carry someone on your back all the way to the finish line.

what I want from my riding buddy when I say my tummy hurts:
After that they stopped and had a beer and a cigarette.
Now there’s a true domestique.
It’s not particularly hard to push another bike while riding; you just hold the stem lightly with one hand. I’m pretty sure this is one of those light hearted messing around photos that pros like to pose for before the start or early on in a stage. It doesn’t look like anyone in the photo is actually racing at that point, and the passers-by are not paying much attention to them.
In a similar vein:

Was this before ambulances? Nice guy to help a friend.
And having a smoke while doing so.
We did this kind of stuff when we were kids. Adults do it and it’s special 🤣
Amazing to note that in both photos there’s absolutely zero deflection? In those rear tires. 120~160psi ??
